Newspaper Section
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- A 27-year-old Rockledge man was unlucky in two pharmacy robbery attempts of prescription pills earlier today, first in Edgewater, then in New Smyrna Beach, police said.
New Smyrna Beach Police Sgt. Eugene Griffith said Jeremy Carman was arrested shortly before noon in the parking lot of the Publix supermarket, 1930 State Road 44, after he left the pharmacy empty-handed after passing a note implying he was armed. When he didn't get an immediate response he walked out to his light green 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlas and was taken into custody without incident.

NSB's Westside wants city to address 'appearance' of inequality of services
Newspaper Section
NSBNEWS.net video by Sera Frederick. Community leaders in the Westside neighborhood want the city to focus more on the recreational needs of the children there and to address cracked sidewalks and overgrown tree branches.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- It's the "appearance" of two New Smyrnas that has some Westside leaders speaking up about the city's seemingly endless focus on the economics of Canal Street and Flagler Avenue, the tourist- and business-oriented parts of the city while the area west of the U.S. 1 railroad tracks, which is predominantly black, gets lesser attention.
"We have to do better as far as our appearance and that's what's killing us," said Pete Carter, a minister in the Westside, who asked at Tuesday night's City Commission meeting why Pettis Park remained closed even though the basketball court renovation appeared complete.
